Abstract

A facile one-pot (3 + 2) cycloaddition-isomerization-oxidation sequence employing 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane and styryl derivatives provides 5-aryl-3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles in good yields under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates a broad variety of functional groups.

Caution

2,2,2-Trifluorodiazoethane should be stored and handled with care due to its toxicity, explosion risk, and low boiling point (gaseous at room temperature).

General procedure for pyrazole synthesis

Trifluorodiazoethane (0.75-1.0 M in DCE, 0.85 mmol) was added to a solution of styrene (5 equiv.), Et3N (2.5 equiv.) and iodobenzene diacetate (1.5 equiv.) in dry DCE (0.75 M, final concentration). The reaction was stirred at 40 °C in a sand bath for 24 hours. The crude was evaporated and purified by column chromatography (hexane/diethyl ether 6:4) to get the corresponding pyrazole.
